Question
Answer
describe the likely response of Andean hummingbirds to climate change   they will move higher up the mountain  
🗑
predict the birds probability of surviving climate change   high Hb and high location= bad (no where to go) low Hb and low to moderate location= bad  
🗑
why is Dr.Schul studying katydids even though he does not care about them   they have a good system to study questions like what genetic changed cause diversity and how do hearing systems detect new and important sounds  
🗑
why are we still talking about geese   they are a framework for many biological concepts (everything we have learned)  
🗑
viruses do not contain   cellular machinery  
🗑
simple viruses   genetic material inside a protein coat (capsid)  
🗑
viruses cant reproduce without   help from a host cell  
🗑
viruses are categorized based on   capsid size and shape, genetic material, envelope  
🗑
virus shapes   helical, spherical, head tail  
🗑
virus genetic materials   mRNA vs DNA, positive sense: can be read directly or negative sense: must be translated  
🗑
virus envelopes   present or absent  
🗑
steps of virus replication   1. attach to surface of cell via receptor (must be a perfect fit) 2. enter cell or inject viral genome 3. viral genes direct cell to make viral proteins 4. viral proteins assembled into new virions 5. new virions leave cell  
🗑
features of corona virus   1.spherical 2.contain positive sense RNA 3. enveloppe present  
🗑
two pathways by which sarscov2 enters cells   endocytotic pathway and receptor mediated fusion  
🗑
endocytotic pathway   virus taken into endosome and is membrane bound  
🗑
receptor mediated fusion   bind to receptor on cell surface and empty genes  
🗑
how does the spike protein initiate infection   it binds to ACE2 receptors on our cells  
🗑
how do ACE and ACE2 maintain homeostasis   ACE: makes ANGII, increases and inflammation ACE2: breaks down ANGII, decreases bp and tissue damage  
🗑
how is the ACE and ACE2 homeostasis disrupted with sarscov2   ACE2 receptor's lost so to much ANGII more inflammation and cell damage  
🗑
covid genome   29 genes, makes extra copies of viral RNA, assembles new virus particles, block ribosomes from translating host mRNA  
🗑
open reading frame   stretch of RNA translated all at once  
🗑
what is the difference between a structural and non structural protein   structural makes capsids, nonstructural makes viruses  
🗑
how does the virus evade the host immune system   methylated cap to disguise as normal mRNA  
🗑
how genetic variations affect the immune system   changes its ability with memory cells to fight off infections  
🗑
two general parts of vertebrates immune system   innate and acquired  
🗑
innate immune system   all animals, detects and fights pathogens, recruits immune cells to site of infection, activates the acquired IS  
🗑
acquired immune system   only vertebrates, induce secondary response, results in mild or no symptoms  
🗑
how does acquired immune system lead to immunity   memory cells know how to fight viruses who have already infected the cell  
🗑
types of vaccines commonly used   heterotypic, inactivated, attenuates, toxoid, subunit  
🗑
steps of clinical testing for vaccine   1. preclinical: testing in animals 2. phase 1: asses safety in small healthy sample of people 3. phase 2: measure effects on more diverse group 4. phase 3: asses immunity in more natural setting 5. phase 4: monitor adverse effects/ immunity  
🗑
BioNTech/Pfizer   mRNA that codes for covid gene enclosed in lipid nanoparticle  
🗑
moderna   like pfizer but can be stroed in normal fridge/freezer  
🗑
Johnson and Johnson   modified adenovirus containing DNA for spike protein (more stable than MRNA=stored longer)  
🗑
Describe the changes that typically need to occur in a virus to enable host-jumping   access new host cell, utilize cells machinery, avoid cells immune responses , transmit easily  
🗑
Explain why the ability of a respiratory virus to spread among people is influenced by the locations of susceptible cells in the respiratory system   upper respiratory= less deadly, spreads easier lower respiratory= more deadly harder to spread  
🗑
Explain why viruses that move from bats to other animals often cause severe illness.   they have unusually effective immune system which selects for virus strains with high replication rates  
🗑
What makes bat immune system so effective   strong antiviral response but minimal inflammation  
🗑
Why did bats evolve such a good immune system   Flight requires very high metabolic rate  
🗑
why scientists hypothesize that SARS-CoV-2 had an intermediate host, rather than moving directly from bats to humans   the S protein on the bats strain does not fit the human ACE2 receptor  
🗑
why was the covid vaccine able to be developed so quickly   overlapping of clinical testing phase to create a compressed time table  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
